Maximizing Your Food Truck Email Signature

While most food truck owners dread opening up their email account and replying to the numerous emails they receive every day, you should know that you can use these messages as a way to help promote your food truck, your website or even upcoming promotions.

To get the most out of your food truck or personal email signature try using these five tips:

Define what information your email signature will contain.

For example:

First & Last Name, Title

Food Truck Name

Address

City, State, ZIP

Phone: 800 – 123-4567

Email: youremail@ myfoodtruck.com

Social Media: Twitter, Facebook

Create a unique email signature to use at the end of email messages to better brand your food truck business.

Make sure your email signature gives customers, suppliers and other respondents immediate access to all of your contact information.

Set your signature to appear on new messages, replies to messages, forwarded messages or any combination.

To do this in Microsoft Outlook (PC Menu):

Open Outlook

Click on the Tools menu item

Click on Options from the Tools drop down menu

Click on the word “Signatures” in the lower right

Click on the word “new” in the create signature box

Enter your new signature information then click “ok” on the open pop-up windows.

Richard is an architect by degree (Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, Michigan) who began his career in real estate development and architectural planning. In September of 2010 he created Mobile Cuisine Magazine to fill an information void he found when he began researching how to start a mobile hotdog cart in Chicago. Richard found that there was no central repository of mobile street food information anywhere on the internet, and with that, the idea for MCM was born.
